The île-aux-Tourtes bridge will be completely closed during the upcoming weekend for maintenance, the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility announced Monday.

The traffic closure will be in effect from 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, to 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 6:

  • Complete closure of Highway 40 westbound between Exit 44 (Morgan Blvd.) and the entrance from Saint-Charles Ave.
    • Westbound, access to Chemin de Senneville will be maintained for local traffic.
  • Complete closure of Highway 40 eastbound between Exit 35 (Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac, Vaudreuil-Dorion, Saint-Charles Ave.) and the entrance from Boulevard des Anciens-Combattants.
    • The ramp leading from Highway 40 eastbound to the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge will be closed at the interchange with Highway 30. Users are encouraged to use Highways 20 and 30.

The ministry said that the closure was necessary for maintenance and reconstruction work on the Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge, to reconfigure highway ramps and to carry out asphalting and concrete work.

From Oct. 6 until December 2025, the westbound exit from Highway 40 toward Senneville Road will be closed to allow for the continued construction of the westbound concrete slab.

To access Chemin de Senneville, motorists will have to take exit 41 (Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Boulevard des Anciens-Combattants, Highway 20 westbound, Île Perrot) from Highway 40 westbound.

The entrance ramp leading from Boulevard des Anciens-Combattants will be relocated to Highway 40 westbound closer to the bridge.
